Command Beacon: Future big spender or future tank?

I understand all the hype surrounding Command Beacon. It gets around Commander tax, it's a new card that everyone is hypu about, it lets you play previously unusable Commanders like Phage the Untouchable or Haakon, Stromgald Scourge.
But what I want to get a feel for is, is its price going to hold steady? Or will the novelty wear off soon and have it see a price drop?
Discuss!

It'll probably glide down some more once everyone gets over it, but I doubt it'll go below $8 unless they get serious about reprinting it. If it doesn't get a reprint in the next commander supplement it might get back to where it is now.
It was only included in one of the decks! I'm disappointed, Opal Palace and Command Tower both were released in all five decks when they made their debuts. That's the kind of treatment that keeps Command Tower from being a lot higher.

Likely will slowly decline but remain around $8-10 and then if it is not reprinted next year i suspect it will jump to about $15-20.

With the likelihood that next year's Commander set will include the other 5 dual-color pairs, which color pairing will be most likely to include Command Beacon?

I don't think we know yet. It wouldnt even be an educated guess. I think we will know once the C16 commanders alone are spoiled...
My uneducated guess is

It's a staple in Titania, Protector of Argoth. Hell, It's playable in most, if not all edh decks, I anticipate it staying steady, or dropping slightly, but then maintaining steady course.
